I am trying to figure out a way to run an executable with GDB

I am trying to figure out a way to run an executable with GDB repeatedly and preferably halt on errors.

I could not find a way to do this in the manual!

Thanks

    I tried (in Bash):

    while true ; do gdb -ex run a.out -ex quit ; done ;

    Unfortunately, this turned out to be rather tricky to kill off, but it did automate running, and when the program crashed (I tested with an old program that causes a SIGABRT), gdb asks “The program is running. Exit anyway? (y or n)”, so just hit n.
